When it is necessary to disassemble the second plug assembly 22 and thesecond socket portion 13, firstly, reversely pull the second handleportion 223F of the second locking member 223 in the longitudinaldirection Y, the second holding portion 223D presses the second elasticportion 223C to make the other end of the second elastic portion 223Cmove toward the second base portion 223A until the second holdingportion 223D is disengaged from the second fixing groove 221D, and atthis time the second extending portion 223B is positioned at an outerside of the second connecting member 222 in the longitudinal directionY; then the other end of the second connecting member 222 is presseddownwardly to relieve the latching between the one end of the secondconnecting member 222 and the second connecting portion 132; later thesecond plug assembly 22 is pulled out from the second socket portion 13.

In order to facilitate the cooperation between the second latchingportion 223D and the second fixing groove 221D, an outer surface of thesecond latching portion 223D may be a smooth curved surface.

Referring to FIG. 7, the main body portion 11 is provided with anavoiding groove 11A facing the second connecting portion 132 of thesecond receptacle portion 13. In the process of pressing the secondconnecting member 222, based on the arrangement of the avoiding groove11A, the main body portion 11 can reserve a sufficient movable space forthe second connecting member 222 to facilitate the assembling anddisassembling.

Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the first plug assembly 21 may furthercomprise: a mounting shell 214 provided in the first shell 211; and afirst conductive terminal 215 mounted to the mounting shell 214. Thesecond plug assembly 22 may further comprise a second conductiveterminal 224 mounted to the second shell 221. After the first plugassembly 21 and the second plug assembly 22 are mounted to the mountingpanel 1, the second shell 221 is assembled with the mounting shell 214,the second conductive terminal 224 is connected (e.g., the insertingconnection) to the first conductive terminal 215.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 4, the first conductive terminal 215 isprovided with an inserting hole, the second conductive terminal 224 isprovided with an inserting pin. Alternatively, the first conductiveterminal 215 is provided with an inserting pin, the second conductiveterminal 224 is provided with an inserting hole.

Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the first plug assembly 21 may furthercomprise a first wire harness body 216 connected (e.g., clamped) to oneend of the first conductive terminal 215 away from the second conductiveterminal 224. The second plug assembly 22 may further comprise a secondwire harness body 225 connected (e.g., clamped) to one end of the secondconductive terminal 224 away from the first conductive terminal 215. Thefirst wire harness body 216 is used for electrically connecting thepower supplying device outside the box, the second wire harness body 225is used for electrically connecting the heating film inside the box.

Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the first plug assembly 21 may furthercomprise: a first sealing ring 217 provided between the first wireharness body 216 and the first shell 211; and a fixing cover 218 fixedto the first shell 211 by the manner of latching. When mounting thefixing cover 218, the fixing cover 218 simultaneously presses the endsurface and the outer circumferential surface of the first sealing ring217, therefore a good sealing interface can be formed between the firstwire harness body 216 and the first shell 211.

Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the second plug assembly 22 may furthercomprise a second sealing ring 226 provided between the secondconductive terminal 224 and the second shell 221 to seal the secondconductive terminal 224 and the second shell 221.

Referring to FIG. 4, the battery product may further comprise: a firstsealing member A sealing the first plug assembly 21 and the firstreceptacle portion 12; and a second sealing member B sealing the secondplug assembly 22 and the second receptacle portion 13.

The first sealing ring 217, the second sealing ring 226, the firstsealing member A and the second sealing member B together ensure thesealing performance of the heating connector 2, which makes the batteryproduct satisfy the waterproof level of IP68.
